The property was assessed for sewer <br /> via Levy 4048. That Levy was based on front footage only, at$49.65 per front foot, and each unit to be connected was <br /> additionally charged a Plant Charge of$225 via Levy 4049 to pay for the sewer plant on Old Crystal Bay Road. One plant <br /> charge was assessed to the property although it is likely that both houses were connected to the sewer at the same <br /> time, but into one stub. <br /> A subdivision was approved by the City in 1978 to place each of the two homes on its own parcel. At that time, rather <br /> than assess a second Plant Charge,the Council in Subdivision Approval Resolution No. 870 adopted January 23, 1978 <br /> conditioned approval on "Outstanding special assessments will be evenly divided between Tracts A& B". I read this to <br /> mean that there was no additional connection charge required then, and that none should be required today. <br /> (As an aside,The City continued to collect the $225 Plant Charge for new connections until 2003, when it was concluded <br /> it was ludicrous to be collecting a charge for a sewer plant that was taken out of service in 1981.) <br /> Michael P.Gaffron <br /> Assistant City Administrator/Long Term Strategy <br /> City of Orono <br /> (Street Address)2750 Kelley Parkway <br /> (Mailing Address) P.O.
